A Hero

A hero lost his life on the Boston and
Albany road the other day. While q
freight train was doing some switching
at Spencer, Mass, April 27, ten loaded
cars standing on the main track broke
away and started down the heavy
grade toward East BroOkfeld. pas
senger train was due in twenty minutes
and seeing that a disastrous collision
would be the result, the conductor of the
freight, James A. Dubois, with the loco
motive and five cars started in pursuit of
the runaWays. After a chase of nearly
five miles the cars were Overtaken while
they were making a speed of between
fifty and sixty miles per hour. Dubois
ran along on top of his train and made an
attempt to jump on the runaway cars in
order to set the brakes. He
misjudged the distance and with
cry Of horror fell to the track and
was ground to pieces by his train. The
cars tore round cure and were in sight
of East Brookfeld when they were dis
covered by the station agent, James Cor
coran, who took in the situation at a
glance. He opened switch and the cars
ran on to the siding and plunged down an
embankment and were completely wreck
ed, as the passenger train pulled into the
station from the other direction Rail-

The Southern Kansas road has for
some cause been short on lahorers, and
so of late work has not proceeded with
wonted CELEBRITY. But it has proceeded,
and the steel is laid some distance from
Camp Supply. We are reliably informed
that in a short time depot will be estab-
lished at the point nearest Supply, about
eighteen miles southeast from that place,
and passengers, mail and freight deliv-
cred there. The world do move, and
when the corn crop of the great middle
west is "laid by" few thousand home
seekers will move down on the new rail-
road and prospect our big, loamy Pan
handle plains Mobeetie Panhandle.

The Panhandle.

A not inconsiderable number of the
graders at work on the Southern Kansas
Railroad is made up of men who have
their families and household goods with
them in camp, and who, when the work
is done or they are tired of it, will
choose their sections and become citizens
of the Panhandle. Every one Of them
who is able to do so, and in shape to be-
come desirable citizen, will remain in
the promised land. Our soil, climate and
people are all Panhandle, and weary pill
grims from harG-scrabble regions are not
slow to catch on Mobeetie Panhandle.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May "a number Of
heavy stockholders of the St. Louis and
San Francisco Railroad Company, includ,
ing President Winslow, Jesse and Henry
Seligman and other directors, arrived
here to-day and will attend the annual
meeting to be held Wednesday. These
gentlemen held a meeting at the South
ern hotel this afternoon, but its
proceedings are kept a profound
secret. 1t is stated, however, by Presi-
dent Winslow, that the board of directors
is a unit in regard to the management OF
the road, that majority of the stock
holders approve the plans of the board
and the road will undoubtedly remain
under it's present management.

The Railroad.

The railroad committee have returned
from Texarkana and meeting was called
at the courthouse yesterday to hear their
reports made by Colonel Miller, who said
that they were well treated by the officials
and told that just at present they were
using all their capital and force on their
branches in north Texas, but that their
chief engineer would be sent over the pro-
posed route inside of ninety days and his
report Immediately sent in to New York
from where they drew their capital, and if
reported upon favorablY, the road would
be built. That they could draw $4,000
per mile on the road, and if the cost in
building was not greater than that, they
would ask no subsidy above right-of-way
depot grounds and terminal facilities.
The committee were very much encour-
aged, and feel confident of securing the

in Fort Worth yesterday, and leftin a spe-
cial car for the Albany branch to look
after the replacing OF long trestle

The water had to rise thirty feet to reach
the trestle in question, and the fact that

that the west had magnificent rain.

Atchison-G Gulf had decided to locate and
build a magnificent passenger depot
where First street crosses the company
tracks. This rumor was all over the city
in an hour, and many persons even knew
the dimensions of the depot and it's cost.

On a Mission East.

CHICAGO, ILL, May 10.-The Times
this morning says after the late cut by
the Transcontinental line Mr.. Stubs of
the Southern Pacific and party went on to
New York, stating before they left that
the Southern Pacific would meet the COM
petition of the Canadian Pacific, Pacific
Mail and the Clipper ships
in it's own way, which meant
that if these latter routes seek any bust
ness they would get 1t at a loss. It was
discoveredi that there was no possibility
of arranging with the outside lines on a
basis of differentials, as the American
roads would not listen to any such COM
promise. If differentials were to be
established the Rio Grande and Northern
Pacific insisted upon being baited with
like advantages, and the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe would under
no circumstance listen to such
concession. Mr.. Stubs and his party
have gone east to labor with the trunk
lines in an effort to get d reduction of the
pro rate demanded east of Chicago to Sc
cure if possible some freight originating
on the seaboard for an all-rail route. The
party will return to Chicago the latter
part of the week, and on Monday next
another meeting of the Transcontinental
lines will be held, and report will be
made of the result of the negotiations
with the eastern lines.

THE ST. LOUIS, ARKANSAS AND TEXAS.
THE MAIN LINE PROBABLY NOT TO COME
TO DALLAs-THE SOUTHWESTERN MUCH
MORE OF A CERTAINTY.
It doesn't look much like the ST. Louis,
Arkansas and Texas is coming to Dallas
with it's main liue. The difference in the
way in which the Dallas and Fort Worth
committees were received by the direct
ory at Texarkana, or rather the way in
which the Fort Worth men were
received and the way in which
the Dallas men were not received,
go to strengthen this suspicion. The
further fact that the road has not made a
proposition to Dallas since it has been
ready for active operations is another
| straw. The circumstance that the road
would have to run between two other
roads coming to Dallas, and then do
more paralleling from here to Fort
Worth, makes it probable that route
through an unoccupied territory would
| be preferable. The fact that it would
cost somewhere in the neigborhood OF
| 100000 to buy the right of way
through Dallas county and depot
grounds here and provide first-Class ter
minal facilities is another stumbling
block. The road seems bent on giving
Dallas the go-by on the north and to
build it's line from Corsicana or Mount
Calm to Hillsboro, thus surrounding Dial
las. Having acquired the Kansas and
Gulf Short Line, it is considered prob
able that the Cotton Belt means to gel
possession of the Trunk, extend it to the
said short line and reach Dallas by that
route. From the very best sources O
information the above appears to bt
about the situation of the Gotten Bel
with reference to Dallas Dallas
| News.

HOSPITAL SUNDAY.

Tn Aid of the New Haven Hospital to
 be Held Sunday, January s-In Great
 Need of Money 10 Pay Expenses.
 A week from next Sunday will be 'FHospi- tai Sundayn and collections for the aid of the hospital will be taken up in most of the churches, as well as the preceding Saturday. The appeal for aid this year is even more urgent than usual, as from an average of 115 patients day during the first six months of the year the number has dropped to about 95 at the present time, showing that subse-' quently the receipts from patients have fallen of, while the main expenses remain about, the same as if the patients had not decreased. The rate per week for almost all of the patients at the hospital is much below the cost of their support Only the few marine patients and the very few patients in private rooms pay as much as costs, while, the town patients, the soldier patients and the self pay ing patients in the wards all pay less than cost. The town patients alone in 1886 cost nearly $3, 900 more than was received for tbem, including the $5,000 from the State. In other words the annual deficiency in the accounts of the hospital is due to their small receipts While economizing as closely as possible in all other directions, they cannot economize in the food or the medicine or the care of a sick person. They can only go on giving the treatment needed in each case'and trust to the community to help make up the lack caused by small receipts In 1886 their deficiency was $6, 200, and this year owing to the causes stated above it will be even great CT. As their income from invested funds is only about $3,000, they depend on liberal donation on hospital Sunday to enable them to cover expenses
